the following is a specification.

. .Mybbject is to make a traveling stool attachment for a barbers chair, and my invention consists in the novel features herein shown, described and claimed.

Figure, 1 is aside elevation ofa barbers chair showing a traveling stool attachment embodying the principles of my invention in use,-the attachment being shown in section.

Fi 2 is a fra enta 'to Ian view 01'': the si ool seat as s e ii look i iig in the direction indicated by the arrow 2 in Fig. 1.

v The barbers chair seat 1 is rigid with a swiveled reciprocating post 2, and the'post 2 rotates in the pedestal or base 3, The ball against the upper end of the pedestal 3' and has a ball race to receive the balls 5, the second ball bearing 6 rests upon the balls 5 and has a race for the balls 7, a third ball bearing member 8 rests upon the balls 7, and the bead 9 upon the post2 rests upon the ball bearing member 8.

The ring .10 fits upon the center ball hearing member 6 and is held in place by aset screw 4. The hitching bar 12 extends downwardly from one. side of the ring 10 outside of the pedestal 3 and has pinholes 13,14 and The socket 16 has ears 17 straddling the hitching bar 12 and the bolt 18 is removably inserted through the ears 17 andthrou h a desired one of the openin 13, 14 an 15 to connect the socket 16 to t e hitching bar 12.

The spring caslng 19 is inserted into the socket 16 and secured in place by a pin 20. The retractile coil spring 21 is connected to the 4 pin 20 in the casing '19. A rod 22 slides through a bearing 23 at the outer end of the vspring casing 19 and has a stop'24 on its mner end to. engage the bearing and-the spring 21 is connected tdf, the eye 25-extend-' ing inwardly from the stop 24, the tension of the spring being exerted to pull the rod 22 into the casing 19. 7

Catch recesses 26 are formed in a row lengthwise of the rod 22, A h u ing 27 i 33 upon theballs 38 the upper face of the member 35land carries balls 39. Y The "third bearingmembe1 4O fits- 1919. Serial no. aI1,s11.

The stool base'29 is mounted to run upon of the post 33. A bearing member 35 fitsv upon the post 33 and is held in its adjusted position by a set screw 36. A second bearf ing member 37 fits loosely around the post inaballraoe in against the balls 39 and fits tightly upon the post 33." A ring 41 fits upon 'the bearing member 37 and is held in place by a set screw 42. An ear43 extends from the ring 41-and I is connected tothe .rod 22 by a bolt 44.

A cap 45 is screwed to the-upper end of V, I

the post 33. A seat 46 is mounted upon the seated through the cap. 45. A pad 48 is con nected to the forward part of the seat 46 by .a spring hinge 49, said pad being in aposi tion to hol'dthe stool 'from colliding with and marring the barbers chair.

upper end of a' seat post 47 like a bicycle seat, and the seatpost 47 is adjustably screw The barber "will use the seat 46 and will adjust the distance between the seat46 and the barbers chair to suit the work by mampulating the pin 28 and adjusting the length of the connection formed bythe casing 19 and rod 22'; then the stool attachment thus barbers chair.- The barber may sit upon the seat 46 with'his feet upon the floor and cause the stool to travel or stand still as desired produced will travel in a. circle around the adjustable connection adjustably connected to the hitching bar, a stool base mounted upon casters, a stool-post extending up-- wardlyfrom the-base, a swivel connection between the stool post and the adjustable i n; and a s ee eat pen the st p b I I h i p chair having a central supporting post, a-
